A fresh look at European Security

Met dank overgenomen van Europese Commissie (EC) i, gepubliceerd op woensdag 21 januari 2015.

The College of Commissioners discussed possible avenues to tighten security and prevent terrorism as part of the European Agenda on Security for 2015-2020, an initiative that will be adopted in the coming months.

Today (21 January) the College of Commissioners held a first exchange of views on the future European Agenda on Security during its weekly meeting.

The European Commission will adopt in the months to come a European Agenda on Security for 2015- 2020 which will address several aspects such as identifying policy tools to prevent and address radicalisation; stepping up the fight against terrorism financing; strengthening cooperation between Europol and other European agencies and reinforcing the fight against arms trafficking.

First Vice-President Timmermans presented the outcome of the orientation debate at today's Commission Midday Briefing, which can be found on EBS.
